AM 1600 WRPN Sports Blog

Greetings and Welcome to the Blog for AM 1600 WRPN Sports. We will spend our time talking here about things we don't usually have enough time to get to on the air. If you would like to be a guest blogger for us on here by all means send me an email at Jason@wrpnam.com Thanks again for stopping by. Here we go.

GIRLS BASKETBALL - Congrats to the Ripon Tigers girls coming off a big win over Markesan on Thursday night. The Tigers threw in a 2-3 zone against the Lady Hornets and held Markesan to just 5 points in the third quarter. Markesan made something like 4 field goals the entire second. When I talked to Bill Peters in the post -game he made the comment that thanks to Sam Bickert's 24 points via the 3 point arc last week against Berlin it made them come out defensively and give up the lane just a little bit. Erin Lind had a huge game as did Taylor Wurtz. Another great game performance came from Lindsay Berndt. "LB" got some quality minutes and dropped 7 points for Tigers. The Ripon girls are a great team and now with a 3-0 lead in the conference standings its gearing up for a great year. Also quick props to Ripon resident Terry Boe and Oshkosh Wildcats Girls Basketball coach on a big win over Oshkosh North. Coach Boe has a tough task replacing coach Schumacher who is now at UWO, but knowing Terry I am sure the Wildcats will be just fine.

BOYS BASKETBALL - Tough loss to the Cougars of Campbellsport on Tuesday night. One thing for sure there are no patsy teams in the non-conference schedule for the Tigers. The thing I have noticed in the last two games that the Tigers are struggling to make baskets. A lot of cold shooting to work through but Coach VanderPlas will make sure they work on that I am sure. Issac is out with a knee injury, that kid can't buy a break. Hurt in the early season of football, tweaks his knee in the state game, then it gets sat on in Clintonville. Issac should be back in the next couple of weeks, lets keep our fingers crossed. The Ripon Berlin game is shaping up as one hell of a game. I am sure the gym will be packed.

Till next time...Rock on!

Biggie
